The issue with Google is the scale of the data they can collect and their ability to use that data. Between Chrome, Search, Android, Waymo, Google Fi, etc they have a lot of ways to gather and use data on users.

And Google VPN.
Google’s entire recent business direction seems to be “protect your data from everyone else so our copy of your data is worth more”.

Also add Google Maps and Gmail to the list.

It could always be worse. But that’s a bad excuse.

No, you’re right. That’s not a good excuse but being overly dramatic over it doesn’t really do anything productive either. At the end of the day it’s just a default option that can easily be changed. Not really a conspiracy by Google and Apple to steal your personal data.
